Other than craigslist and auto trader, how would someone go about find an older vehicle?
I'm looking for a 68-70 C10 :drool:

Patience and craigslist/kijiji type sites are gunna be your best bet I'd think.
Ha Ha! Made you look.

Try to find a (local) forum for the model you are looking for and check out their buysell.
that is the most reatrded thing ever even a retarded would say thats retarded

Obvious troll is obvious.
You sure about that?
As a guy that grew up at the tail end of the 70s muscle car era, I became a "car guy". Loved the style, loved the power. Had every intent to go straight into being an auto mechanic after high school. I've torn down auto and manual transmissions, and pulled a couple of engines completely down to the crankshaft mains, then did the full re-build.
Went into Uni for Mech engineering, worked on the SAE mini-indy team building a little race car from the ground up. Any spare time I had left, my roommate and I spent in the student shops, fabricating parts for his little 2.2 liter Horizon - trying to bash more horsies out of that little sewing machine. We fabricated custom intake headers to fit oddball carbs, and we built adapters to get a distributor to fit (after we destroyed the OEM one).
It took me ten minutes of driving a Tesla to conclude that it's just a better, more elegant solution to personal transportation than anything that internal combustion has to offer. The noise of IC engines (that everyone says they just can't do without - because they associate that noise with power) is waste. That's what IC engines are particularly great at, is wasting energy.
The best IC cars on the road today can't do better than 25% efficiency, and most are 20% or less. That means that 75% or more of the energy contained in that tank of gas you paid for is going to making noise, vibration, heat or wasted out the exhaust manifold unburned (to be consumed/wasted by the catalytic convertor). Compare that to the 80% or better efficiency of any battery electric out there.
So … when a full-sized family oriented electric car, weighing 4500 pounds, able to seat 5 adults and 2 children, with room left for luggage, competes against a nearly race-ready, purpose-built performance sedan, and loses by only 0.8 seconds in the quarter … I just chuckle when the apologists come swarming.
It's quite simple - whatever $$$ get poured into making an IC vehicle faster can be beaten by an electric for about 1/2 the price.

You like purpose-built for speed and acceleration? How about the Rimac Concept One - 2.8 seconds 0-60
When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called religion.
If the Challenger had sicks and the Tesla was on road tires there could easily be +/- a second there.

It's an automotive discussion thread, a little bit of bait doesn't hurt to get the ball rolling. It probably wouldn't take much to modify an electric car that could smoke a muscle car in a quarter, fortunately Tesla is more concerned with practicality than winning drag races. Seriously, when does being .8 seconds faster over a quarter ever give anyone an advantage in day to day driving?
With the torque electric has off the line they would have to be careful not to make one that would snap the drivers neck.

800 hp, 0-60 in 2.4 seconds, 170mph 68 mustang?
it has one or 2 sewing machines in it.
Different rear tires is "modified"?
You wanna run some BMX streetlander tires on your next garbanzo run?
Yeah, kind of a big deal if buddy is putting down racing slicks (same width?) for a mile drag race.

while all that post is true, the fact that you misused a youtube clip to try and prove your point is a bit sad.
from the vid description you posted:
"We would like to add that this was the Hellcat driver's first time at the track and first time attempting to launch the car."
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

true, but the tesla is also running awd, a huge advantage in launching a car.
